- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream, cold
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) powdered sugar
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) vanilla instant pudding
Instructions
- Puree Preparation: Transform ripe mangoes into a velvety smooth puree using a blender, setting aside a portion for final adornment.
- Cream Whipping: Chill a mixing bowl and whisk, then whip cold heavy cream with vanilla instant pudding mix and powdered sugar until forming robust, lustrous peaks that retain their structure.
- Mousse Composition: Delicately fold the mango puree into the whipped cream, maintaining the airy volume and ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Plating and Chilling: Elegantly pipe the mousse into serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours to achieve a luxurious, firm texture.
- Garnishing: Just before serving, enhance the chilled mousse with the reserved mango puree, a dollop of whipped cream, and optional embellishments like fresh mint leaves or mango cubes.
Notes
- Optimize Mango Selection: Choose fully ripe, fragrant mangoes with deep golden-orange color for maximum sweetness and flavor intensity.
- Chill Equipment Thoroughly: Refrigerate mixing bowl and whisk for at least 15 minutes to ensure cream whips quickly and maintains stiff peaks.
- Handle Cream Carefully: Fold mango puree gently to preserve air bubbles, preventing deflation and maintaining the mousse’s light, creamy texture.
- Patience in Chilling: Allow minimum 5-hour refrigeration to develop rich consistency and allow flavors to meld perfectly, enhancing overall taste profile.
